Hi
 I have checked the birth certificate for James Gordon and although there is no RCE to indicate the farther, the address of the birth is given as Raw of Balmain, where I know from the 1961 census that both James G Balfour and Margaret Gordon were living.

Hello ev
My initial thoughts together with Scottish tradition was that the G might stand for Gordon.
As at 2 years old (1861 census) James was living with William and Elisabeth Taylor at the Raw of Balmain where also boarding there was a Margaret Gordon, who I suspected too be his mother.
At 12 years old, at the Stonehaven Poor House, there was also a Margaret Gordon and the age was correct.
And he was at Lundie Bothie at 22.

I am seeking information regarding my great grandfather, James G Balfour, who was born in Fettercairn in 1859.
I know that at 2 years old he was living with the Taylor family at the Raw of Balmain and at 12 years old he was in the Poor House in Stonehaven. He later lived in North Yorkshire.
Any information on his parents would be helpful.

I am trying to find the surname of Mary Ellen Stork.
I know she was born in either Streatlam or Stainton in 1848
